FEBUARY 2018 - New product information

BMW PARTS NOW IN STOCK (BMW R65, R80, R100)

VANEM now has a range of parts for the popular BMW airheads. Parts include a high quality Japanese-made bolt on subframe kit for BMW Mono shock bikes made by OUTLOUD Moto Japan. You can match the subframe kit with an SR400 Nitroheads seat from our selection or use the subframe kit with a rear fender + seat or use the subframe kit with the bolt on OUTLOUD fenderless kit and the seat of your choice etc.

The subframe design allows for various fit up options to suit the style you are looking for. The kit is designed for use with the factory BMW tank and is compatible with all of the Nitroheads SR400/500 seats that we sell. The seats are easily installed and allow for many variations. The matching fenderless bracket is available for the subframe kit as a bolt on addition (bought separately). We have several suitable taillights to fit if required. If you decide to change the look later on, you can add a fender, or add your own loop.

The bolt on kit can be removed easily in future, (unlike welded on fabrication that are difficult to revert back to normal). The new subframe kit is made in Japan and maintains a high quality finish..The kit is designed to be an easily bolted on part that can be fitted with basic hand tools.

Full details will be within our new BMW parts section due soon (MARCH 2018). See release images below. The kits are now in stock (in AUST.) so we welcome any enquiries. Other parts for the BMW (dedicated and universal items) will also be be added as our range for the airheads establishes.

The DAYTONA velona is equipped with a stepping motor driven pointer that quickly moves and indicates actual speed/rpm. A V-shaped bracket is included in the kit for easy installation, see images below for contents of the kit and see the lower right image for link to the YouTube clip which shows full operation.
